More to share!

I've got more to share, a few announcements and a sneak peek for ya!

First up, I can now officially post my Treasure Hunt entry for challenge #2. In an attempt to BE in more pictures, the girls and I took a bunch using the self-timer function on my camera. We laughed and giggled, and really had a lot of fun. In fact, Caroline keeps asking to do it again. At one point SK thought she'd take some photos too, and pretended that the XBox controller was a camera. She kept holding it up in the middle of the picture saying, "Say cheeeeez" (which I never tell my kids to do!) And Caroline thought she'd be a "bide" in one of them! hehe! Good times, good times!

"Self-timed shots"

The challenge was to use 4 pp's, 2 colors of CS, an arrow (which I NEVER use), and buttons. The hardest part for me was the journaling prompt, "If I were honest with myself..." So I said, "If I were honest with myself, I'd admit that I'm a camera hog. And rather than TAKE the pictures, I need to be IN them more..."

I learned my lesson, when I handed Josh the camera this summer and he said, "I don't know how to use this thing!!!" Guess since I got it back in Novemeber, I haven't let him "play" with it yet. Oops! I'll try to do better....

***************************Now for the announcements!

First up, this weekend Serendipity Scrapbooks is having a CROP! And it's not just any crop but a "Happily Ever After" DISNEY-themed crop! These challenges are sooo much fun, and I can't wait to see how everyone does with them! So hop on over to the Serendipity forum this weekend to get your fill of Disney movies and character challenges!

And lastly, Kari from Urban Anthology just posted the preview for the UA September kit and here it is!!!mmmm....Some October AFternoon...Sassafras "Monstersosity"....

I LOOOOOVE the colors you used in that layout, girl! It's so colorful! I never think to pull out bright cardstock- I stick to the kraft & the white. I'm so doing that now. Also- what a fun idea to do a Disney themed crop! That sounds like a blast! Wish I had "extra" time to come play! (HA!)
